We have as a part of our shutdown scripts:

umount -a -d -r -t notmpfs,nosysfs,nodevtmpfs,noproc

What we expect is that the rootfs (/) will fail, but be remounted read only. This doesn't seem to be happening because we get messages about recovery needed during the next boot.

We can work around it by adding

mount -n -o remount,ro /

I have a report that umount works as expected in version 2.21.2, but not in 2.22.2 or later. I this a misunderstanding about umount or a bug?

Please, run

LIBMOUNT_DEBUG=0xffff umount -a -d -r -t notmpfs,nosysfs,nodevtmpfs,noproc &> umount.log

and send me the log file.
